That would be cool if AO had made an aluminum table that would mount under the rack when not in use. The table they made that I checked out at Christo's a couple of years ago was made of stainless steel with aluminum legs and HEAVY!!! Not the best place to put so much weight, especially for an old fart like me. I bought an AO awning last year from someone on Expedition Portal and it is very well made, pretty easy to set up, handles wind pretty well and affords a good amount of shade. You'll have to find space for something similar in size and shape to an oversize shotgun soft case.
